Rockstar will pull the curtains off its ‘Grand Theft Auto Online’ project next month.

Rockstar announced today that an unveiling of Grand Theft Auto Online is just around the corner.

This August, the video game maker will pull the sheets off the upcoming multiplayer portion of Grand Theft Auto V.

The fact that the online portion of that game is getting its own name (Grand Theft Auto Online rather than just “the multiplayer portion of GTA V) suggests to me that it goes beyond a mere multiplayer mode. Could we see something of a cross between the GTA franchise and an MMO?

We have no details to latch onto, of course, and nowhere to turn save idle speculation. That, and the twiddling of thumbs as we wait for actual details.

All that aside, Rockstar has also released a batch of new screenshots which you can check out below, though to be perfectly honest there’s not a whole lot new to see here:

Meanwhile, Rockstar parent company Take Two Interactive (TTWO) is having a solid year even before the release of the new Grand Theft Auto, with continued success in both its Borderlands and BioShock franchises.
